Based upon what you have written, you seemingly are entitled to all of your father's estate. For help in going through the probate system I suggest that you consult with a Wills and trust attorney to assist you in bringing your father's estate to a conclusion with distribution of assets to you. You do not have to have your uncle, aunt or other relatives sign any consent for distribution.
